In Response To: Re: Nearly sold myself short! (Grizzlei)

: In many cases, yes, it is pure semantics, but in many cases, like referring
: to the terms of gender identity, it is cause for serious concern.

: With your example of the difference between a clip and a magazine, that
: difference matters when you want to legitimize your setting.

Actually, it matters when you are a Federal Firearms Licensee who runs a gun shop, or when you've been called in to testify about gun laws. It matters in the real life.

He was an accountant too, so I would have used economic terms for an example if I knew enough.

: The particular situation matters and the author fails to understand that.
: Hell, he doesn't WANT to understand it.

He doesn't WANT to be lectured about it when he's just looking for something good to read. He honestly doesn't give a crap what your gender identity is.
